True King Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 See Chess Tournaments have been done before & Poker goes well with PnW. What if we had a bracket style chess tournament where each participant pays $10m entry free. Then 1st gets 70% of the jackpot. 2nd gets 20% & maybe 3rd gets 5% & whoever does all the work organizing everything gets 5%? Any ideas on best chess platform for it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changeup Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Royal Orbis News has a chess bot which looks pretty cool. I like that idea! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True King Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Maybe if we can get a preliminary list of those interested, we can get an idea on the demand. (Also would be open to all regardless of spheres & wars) Edit: @Alex Can maybe add a chess piece award in-game for the grand winner if we do it legit?

Clock time? How are you going to prevent people from using engines? What platform will we play on? I was up for ideas if people know good platforms already.

Don't put so much thought into it. It's a for-fun thing. I'd be down to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I think that we shouldn’t do a prize pool Maybe we’ll do a test w/o a bet; then a lower bet for the first cash one. See how it goes. Not sure how people can be stopped from listening to a chess AI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True King Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just now, CandyShi said: You really can’t, short of watching them play IRL. Did my first live on chess.com with 10 min timer. Won, maybe the timer makes it harder to use a bot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 PnW in general needs more stuff like this. If this game had more sports (other than baseball), it would certainly help pass the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasky Darkfire Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Challonge.com is good for bracket building. It's free to sign up for and free to use. You have to buy a subscription for "premium features" But that's more for like... actual competitions. lichess.org has built in anti-cheat, iirc. I just can't speak to its effectiveness. Valinor had a chess tournament before the war went and got in the way. It was pretty fun. I like 5|0 games but if you want more casuals to play for fun, you should probably do a 15|X game.

Sir Scarfalot Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Bruh... anti-cheating? In chess? You literally can't do that without either the physical presence of a moderator and both competitors, or trust. I'm not sure which one is the less practical solution here.

If you give people 2 min to make a move, doubt they’d have much time to ask a bot what to do each move; although maybe. Although if everyone just bets 5-7m; would mostly be for fun.

Guess if somebody has a bot where they can just keep updating where all the pieces are as the game continues, it wouldn't take long for them to input everything needed for the bot to tell them where to go next. Although I don't have an experience with Chess Bots, so not really sure how good they are. Although you're probably right. Would still be fun doing one, but should probably keep the bets not very high due to the potential of cheaters using AI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 If we're really going to shoot down a chess tournament for fear of people using bots, then we might as well never do anything fun.
